A Culture of Research Leadership

Brock University is committed to building a strong, sustained culture of research leadership based on the foundational pillars of collegiality, accountability, ethics and integrity.

Our focus is on people: developing and supporting our researchers so that they, in turn, can improve the lives of those around them and the greater society through explorations, discoveries, innovations, breakthroughs.

Fresh, innovative approaches

A transdisciplinary approach to research provides the structure for the type of collegiality needed for breakthrough research. Many of our laboratories and lunchrooms in places such as the Cairns Complex are physically structured so that researchers from different disciplines can work, and socialize, side-by-side.

The Brock environment provides fertile ground for innovation. The Office of the Vice President, Research recognizes and rewards those who take advantage of the resources around them and apply their skills and research in rigorous inquiry.

Tying everything together is integrity: ensuring that our resources are used wisely; that our services are delivered with excellence; that we continue to put the needs of our researchers, and by extension the wider community, front and centre at all times.

Our strength is our people
